A photograph of an indoor hall with black stone tile floors, white walls, a ceiling fan and white shelving holding steel vessels. About a dozen people stand in a loose group wearing white dhotis and white kurtas, with a few in black trousers and shirts. Near the centre a man in white dhoti and shirt laughs with hands clasped. On the right two sannyasis in saffron-orange robes stand facing a figure in an orange robe over a red top with long dark hair, who presses palms together in greeting. Another saffron-clad person with a shaved head stands at the far right.

A photo of a bare, tiled interior room with white wall shelves, a ceiling fan and a window. A group of about a dozen men stands in conversation. Several wear white dhotis and white shirts; a few wear white kurtas with orange shawls. In the centre, a smiling man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands barefoot facing a long-haired man in a saffron-orange robe with a red undergarment who gestures with both hands. Beside them a bearded man in saffron robes and a rudraksha mala stands, and at right a young man in saffron clothing with long hair holds his hands together.

Interior of a white-walled hall with orange curtains, ceiling fans and white plastic chairs around covered tables. A figure in orange robes and an orange turban walks away from the camera toward a group of saffron-robed sannyasis and visitors. Several women in white and cream salwar kameez and saris stand with hands folded in greeting, and a man with grey hair in a white shirt also stands at right. The scene appears to be a welcoming of visiting monastic guests.

A photograph taken under a open-sided thatched shelter with a metal frame. A figure seen from behind, with long dark hair and a bare upper body wrapped in an orange shawl, faces a group of about a dozen smiling people. Most are in white ritual clothing with orange shawls, and several wear rudraksha malas. A woman in the centre wears a white sari with a gold border and is gesturing with her hands. A microphone stands in the lower right corner, and a small table with a basket and bowls sits at the right edge.

A photograph of an indoor gathering at a house visit. A man with long swept-back dark hair, wearing a sleeveless saffron-orange robe over his shoulders, smiles and extends his hand toward a woman in a white sari with a dark blouse who stands with her palms pressed together. Beside him, a man in an orange robe with pink trim stands at right. Behind them, several men and a woman in a white sari with red-bordered patterns stand watching; one man wears a white checked shirt and an orange-brown lungi. Red curtains hang on the left and an arched white railing is visible above. Green bananas or vegetables are visible at the lower left. Ceiling fans hang from the ceiling. The man in the orange robe with long swept-back hair and ceremonial dress matches the appearance cues of a person, though identity is uncertain.

A bald man in a white shirt and orange shawl stands at right beside a woman in a white patterned sari with orange shawl and long dark hair pulled back. Another woman at the far right edge wears an orange shawl. No clearly identifiable a person figure is visible.

In the foreground a woman in an orange sari-style top and long orange skirt stands with palms pressed together in greeting, smiling, facing a tall person with long dark wavy hair in a sleeveless orange top and orange cloth, also with hands joined. Behind them, a man in white dhoti and shirt wears a yellow shawl, and other people in white and yellow clothing stand nearby. A woman in a white and gold sari sits at left beside brass items. At right a garland of yellow and white flowers hangs on a doorway, and a red painted border runs along the wall. The scene is a greeting or reception of devotees.
